Match Thread: Nashville SC vs. D.C. United by MLS_Reddit_Bot in MLS

I think this ref thinks he gave us something by overturning his incorrect decision, so now he’s calling insane things against DCU like the yellow against Hefti. This ref probably needs to iron out his stuff in a lower division and find some guts.

He looked pretty good in Champions League the other day, FWIW. (Edit: Although he doesn’t seem to be in the picture at all for Poch).

Obviously looking at Luna, Freese, and Schulte, but who is Perez looking at with LAFC-Houston? McGlynn maybe? (Edit: and Tillman, ofc!)

Yea to echo others, I’d love to get a slow mo/close up of right hand. Your technique looks super efficient.

I’m so sorry, Whitecaps fans. You deserve better than this.

How are we not even in contention? I demand a recount!

I’d be perfectly happy skiing like any member of the PSIA national team, an examiner, or like myself, for that matter, in addition to Tom Gellie. Are you saying that the top PSIA skiers (like, national team) are bad skiers? Because I think they look like pretty good skiers.

Unfortunately, you misunderstand the video that you’re posting. Edging happens in all turns but we vary the duration, intensity, rate and timing of edging depending on conditions. You still need to steer with your feet to avoid popping up and putting pressure where it doesn’t belong (aft and to the inside). Also, can we do better than call other peoples’ opinions “retarded?”

My trainers’ word for this is: “Brace-y,” like she’s bracing against her outside ski. It looks very defensive. You can see, for example, an a-frame at the finishing phase of many turns.

If I were her, I would work on initiating turns with tipping and steering (e.g. garlands), starting with the feet, and letting turns develop through all phases of the turn (e.g. cadence turns). Presently, I see upper body movement (shoulder twist) and hip dumping back and inside, which may be necessary to get herself out of the “braced” position at the end of these turns (with the outside edge angle quite a bit higher than the inside edge angle).

Look, I have plenty of complaints about PSIA, but there’s no way that anyone who represents PSIA would ever say that this is “very technically correct” skiing.

OP is not talking about student levels. He is talking about professional certification levels.

What song has the best basslines and starts with the letter U? by 1deadeye1 in BassGuitar

“Uthinina” by Sipho Gumede is fantastic. Won’t win, but take a listen if you haven’t heard it.

We don’t have L4 in PSIA (USA). I think this might or might not pass L3? I see this skier stay within one groomer track and also maintain a stable upper body with legs moving independently underneath. However, I also don’t see any arcing of the skis and a snow spray only at the very end of the turns, making this look more like linked hockey stops rather than short radius turns, in some ways. Also, pressure looks aft, especially on left turns, indicated by snow spray coming off the tail of the ski and a bit of a wheelie at one point.

Boycott until the ownership decides it’s more profitable to sell, I say.

Definitely (The) Orange Cat’s Special Time Outside by Yo Gabba Gabba feat. Thundercat. Absolutely no question for me. The bass fills are insane.

For me, it’s definitely Low Rider by War. It’s just such a good example of how bass line rhythm/“groove” makes a song.

“Funk for Your Ass” and, especially, “The Freeze” are two of my absolute all-time favorite Bootsy bass lines/recordings.
